So, Whoosh bikes are not claiming a 900% assist (ratio) level of assistance with some of their bikes, this is your own claim?

I understand "assist ratios" - Bosch, Panasonic,Kalkhof - all use them. I presume the chinese "assist levels" are a sort of rough guide, so the figure of 900% is your own personal "estimate", not any industry guideline?

For comparable products of similar price, then a British connection would decide it for me. Does a logo in this instance confer a commercial advantage? You decide!

Yes, pm me if your interested.

I've been riding an ebike for the last 5 years and still am impressed every time I use the bike. However, during that time, whenever I'm been queried about riding an ebike, often the final reaction to my enthusiasm is "How much!" - when the battery price is revealed. All interest then rapidly...

The German supplier was a bicycle shop called Bad Bikes and has to cope with all the same conditions as listed for a UK based company. Unlike some UK companies he does not have a national monopoly. Like some UK companies he is prepared to sell via the internet and to sell to overseas customers...
